also, I will drink any kind of beer. I like pumpkin beer a lot. don't see the big deal.

you can spark a team with a big hit or maybe even a fucking goal. and i don't see how sending one of the 3 best defensive in the league off the ice for a minimum of 5 minutes can be considered a good thing for a team. try again...

pumpkin beer...speaking of the pussification of america

so you're saying that a player can't spark a team with a fight?? dude, you are lost. this could be worse than your defense or ryan howard or your theory that NFL teams should pass 90% of the time.

Remember game 6 of the playoff series between the pens/flyers a few years ago (you know the one where your boy jeff carter did nothing. well, that was every playoff series). The flyers were up 3-0 and max talbot goaded dan carcillo into a fight. talbot got his ass kicked, but tried to spark his team. crosby scored a minute after the fight and the pens went on to win 4-3.

so yeah, you're wrong as usual. I don't know why I bother with you. I have better sports debates with my dog

it's not that i don't enjoy a good fight, but it's the only sport that even remotely tolerates it. and the only level of the sport that allows it in the world. if it's so important to the game why does no other level than the NHL and their minor leagues allow it?

and the league has done everything it can to outlay blows to the head...yet allows it in fighting. that makes no sense. not even you can explain the hypocrisy of that.

and i'm offended that idiots like Zac Rinaldo and Jody Shelley are paid professional athletes with no talent whatsoever. and yet we hate guys who are top 10 scorers in the league. makes no fucking sense.

edit: you guys probably put orange slices in your beer too :roll: pumpkin beer and orange slices aren't beer their fucking wine coolers

and Fixer watch the HBO Real Sports - then come back to me with your thoughts on the goons. Seriously i'd love to hear your thoughts on the story.

Some of them are. So are some porters & stouts.

This is the first year I really found some good pumpkin beers. Not sweet-tasting or girly, but just really good beers. And we're talking 8-10% alcohol here. They're not pussy beers. But just keep living by your stereotypes - I will enjoy them for you.

i've had tons of beers...i'd say i've had well over 100 different beers and the pumking beer was the first i have not been able to finish. it was bad. i expected a hint of pumpkin taste...instead i got the worst beer ever....don't even know how to describe it, beyond bad. i will never try anouther pumpkin beer. yuck

i've had porters and stouts that weren't great, but still finishable.

how are the bottom of the standings treating you or has it become such a habit over the last decade that you don't notice any more?

what does your first paragraph even mean? you like fighting, but you think they should abolish it because no other sport has it. that makes a ton of sense. they should take away ice skates in hockey too...no other sport uses them. and basketball players should wear gloves since every other sport does.

you can't compare hockey to other sports. fighting has been in the game for 100 years. why get rid of it now?

I think the new NHL rules on hits are gay too. Most of the time a player is trying to hit a moving target. 99% of hits are made without an intent to injure. Again, injuries are part of the game. These guys get paid enough to deal with any injury they get IMO.

keep defending jeff carter and ryan howard :roll: . I guess playoff performance doesnt matter to you at all. not surprising

I had a pumpkin beer the other night at cavanaugh's in philly (forget what brewery it was from). Wasnt good. I finished it though. Actually I was too lazy to ask them what they had on tap so I had three of them

Pumpkin beer is just like any other type of beer. Some brands will be better than others.

only 4 games in ...and we got half of the points..not as bad as it seems

btw...watch the highlights of hank last night..that's a goalie

I saw the end of the third period. He's a beast. I see your squad is averaging a whopping 2 goals a game so far. That's about a goal better than last year, but still pretty shitty.

im just breaking 81 balls

hank stole 2 points last night

again we have only played 4 games and i am hoping that 4 goal 3rd period will get them going abit

also richards gabby and stephan have dominated the past 2 games....loving that line and gabby has 3 goals in 4 games which is a good sign for us ...hopefully they stay healthy


nedless to say the flyers have a chance to make alot of noise this year.....time will tell

hey i like goals and runs since they you know are kind of important and essential to you know winning and losing unlike you know fighting. let's see if any of these boys can score 36 for the franchise like carter did last year.
